In auburn hair and slight green eyes, Gwen stood on the stage with a large apron around her, as well as shorts and a t-shirt. "Thank you all!" She announced from the center stage, surrounded by her audience. "Show of hands please, how many of you are familiar with the mythological tale of Pygmalion? Hrm?"
She waited as no one raised their hands, but phones where taken out for people to search on the internet. "Well, for those of you who don't know," she announced, "it is the Greek myth of the statue that became a real woman!" That caused a few people to make the connection, while many others could see where this performance was going. Or so they thought.
"Now, if I were a boring performer, I would sculpt an assistant out of clay here and bring her to life for the show," Gwen said, "but that's boring! And trite! And better done with mannequins! Trust me on that," she said. "Instead, I'm going to do some Reverse-Pygmalions! Which is to say that I'm going to turn some women into statues! But not all at once! No, I asked a few previously unattached ladies in the audience if they wanted to assist me this evening, and they agreed!"
The audience appreciated that. Especially as this was the first act of the show, which meant that the other members of the Club would still have their turns.
"So, I'm going to call them up one at a time, and I'll transform them! Each one will draw a card from this hand," Gwen flourished her hand to show off a few cards that weren't in there before. "And each card has a different material to transform them into!"
"Tell us!" Someone called out.
"Nadda!" Gwen called back, nonplussed. "You'll be as surprised as they are! And for the record, I'm not going to cheat with the cards. Pure random chance! But anyway, Once I call them up and they take their card, I'll transform them into a statue of that material! They'll be available for inspection for the rest of the evening, and," she gave a knowing wink, "we'll see who's lucky!"
The audience knew exactly what that meant, and they cheered.
"Now, would Helen come up!" Gwen called out, and from the audience, a young woman approached the stage! The audience cheered her on as she stepped up with Gwen's help. "Everyone, say thank you to Helen!"
There was a large and positive response from the audience to the appearance of the woman with long blonde hair. It was wild and unkempt, a promise of energy and excitement. "So, should I strip now?" she asked, cutting right to what everyone wanted to see.
Gwen shook her head. "After you pick a card!" she proclaimed like a gameshow hostess. She held the hand full of cards up, grinning all the while as Helen reached out and with only a little hesitation, picked a card. She flipped it around. "Well? What does it say?" Gwen asked.
"GOLD!" Helem cried out cheerfully, bouncing up and down with excitement! "Oh, this is going to be awesome!" she was heard over the cheers of the crowd before them.
"It will!" Gwen agreed. "Now, pose like you want to be!" she commanded her assistant as she took the card from Helen and then as the latter was stripping out of her clothes, tossing them to one side, the former held up the card and showed it off to everyone so they could see the ingots that were printed on it. She then tilted the card sideways, and a large dollop of liquid metallic yellow started to come out of it like honey!
"Gold is one the heaviest elements, with an elemental weight of nearly 200," she said to her audience. "It's only exceeded by Lead and then the radioactive elements. It's also a great electrical conductor, and people like it for jewelry!" Beside her, Helen was almost done stripping. "Ready, Helen?"
Helen kicked off her panties, and tossed them into the audience. "I want that back later!" she called out in the nude. "Ready!" She said as she put her left hand on her hip and put her right hand on her cheek, tilting her head to the side to act very cute and demure even if she was nothing like that.
Gwen held up the dollop of liquid in her hands for Helen to see, and then knelt to place it on her legs. As the audience watched under the bright lights of the stage, Gwen covered Helen's left leg with the golden liquid, carefully covering every exposed space with it, leaving behind the gilded leg from foot upwards as Gwen worked.
"Ooooh, that's cold!" Helen said as she adjusted her stance. "Didn't you say Gold is heavy? Why don't I feel heavier?"
Gwen moved to the other leg and began to rub it as well. "I'm glad you asked! Conservation of Mass! Gold is so heavy that a hundred and twenty pounds of it wouldn't even be a full cubic foot in size!" She looked up at Helen, who was looking back down at her. "Which means you're going to be very hollow!" And to prove that, she rapped her knuckles on Helen's legs, allowing everyone to hear the hollow 'thunk' that came with her description.
"Oh... Ah! OK then!" Helen agreed as Gwen finished covering her legs, transforming them and then she rose up a little to sit on her knees and began to cover Helen's hips. The audience mostly found it disappointing that Gwen didn't take the time to enjoy Helen's crotch, but given how Helen reacted to both Gwen's hands and the golden transformation of her sensitive parts, they were satisfied - for now.
Stomach, ribs, back, chest, all were covered and turned to burnished gold. Helen maintained her poise and posture even as Gwen stood behind her and wrapped her arms around the helpless woman to caress and cover her breasts. Helen gasped a little at the rough handling, but smiled as they were left unblemished and gilded.
Gwen then did her shoulders, her neck, then moved to her arms and hands. Soon enough, all that was left was Helen's head and hair. Gwen carefully ran her fingers through the flaxen mane, "Rumpelstiltskin I am not!" she commented blithely as she then ran her hands over the back of Helen's head, ears, cheeks, mouth and then eyes, finishing with her nose.
A new statue stood on the stage as Gwen wiped her hands clean. "Presenting!" She called out to the audience, "Helen of Gold!" She stepped back and allowed the newly made statue to take the spotlight. The audience clapped and applauded, and some wolf-whistled their appreciation of her beauty.
Gwen took a bow, and then carefully wiped her hands clean of the few drops of gold still stuck to her hands onto her apron. She wrapped her arms around Helen's waist and lifted her up with a grunt and walked to the side of the stage, where she set her down again, facing outward. "Really glad she's not solid," Gwen commented. "But don't worry folks, she wide awake, and can see and feel everything!" She leaned on the statue for a moment before going back to the center of the stage. "Now, would Emily come up!"
"WOOO!!" An eager sound came from the audience as an already naked woman came rushing up to the stage, jumping up with eagerness. "YES!" She stood there, triumphantly raising her hands over her head in celebration. "Thank you!" she thanked Gwen.
"Haha!" Gwen laughed back. "Always nice to see someone eager for the show," she smiled as she flourished her hands and presented a handful of cards for the new arrival. Emily leaned forward and plucked a card from Gwen's hand and flipped it around to read. "Ice! Nice!" she rhymed as she flipped the card around again and showed everyone the obvious picture of an ice cube.
"Thank you!" Gwen snatched the card from Emily's hand. "Well, i see you're already dressed for the occasion, so why don't you pose for your adoring audience?" she suggested.
Emily spun around on her heel and leaned forward for her pose, She put one hand on her knees for balance as her breasts hung free and she offered a wink and a blown kiss to the people in the darkness beyond the stage. Beside her, Gwen flicked the card back and forth until a block of ice appeared and dropped into her waiting hand.
"Ice, Ice very very nice!" she sing-songed to the tune of a Vanilla Ice song that everyone had learned through osmosis. "Did you know that Ice isn't the most dense water can get?" she said as she held the cube up.
"Hurry up!" Emily said!
"Shush, I'm educating here!" She flipped the cube into the air and caught it. "It's actually at its most dense when it's about 4 Celsius. When its just above the freezing point and before it starts to crystalize. The act of crystalization actually expands the water just a little bit as everything becomes an ordered lattice, and not a fluid!"
"Magic please! Not science!"
Gwen looked down at her assistant, who was holding her sexy pose. She rolled her eyes dramatically and then dropped the ice cube onto Emily's back!
"AAAAAKKK!!!" Emily yelled as the ice hit her bare spine and while it looked like she wanted to flinch but she was frozen - metaphorically - in place as the ice started melting.
But as the ice turned to water, Emily started to glisten under the liquid. Gwen reached out and carefully stroked the ice cube back and forth, running up and down Emily's back, allowing rivulets of water to drop down her sides. These small streams left behind lines of frost which flaked away to reveal clear ice!
"Ohhhh, that's cc--cold!" Emily complained as she winced under the freezing touch, Gwen finishing with her back and then running her hands down her legs. To those closer to the stage, they could see lines of ice along her ribs and chest.
"I should hope so! It's not exactly Ice-9 I'm working with here, or liquid nitrogen!" Gwen commented as she carefully transitioned Emily's crossed legs into clear ice.
"What happens if I fall over?" Emily asked, a look of worry on her face.
"You won't! Magic!' Gwen assured her as she reached Emily's feet and covered them, turning them clear as well before standing up and going to Emily's side. Here, she rubbed over her back again, gathering more frozen ice and then rubbing all along Emily's neck and then her face, allowing her braided hair to fall to one side and leaving her chest for last.
This, she covered up with her hands and when they were removed, the volunteer woman was frozen solid, a single block of ice that refused to melt under the spotlight. Gwen wiped her hands again and reached into a pocket, where she pulled out a small flashlight with a red lens and shone it through the woman to show off just how clear she was. The red light went through her and into the audience, earning another round of applause from the audience!
"Thank you! Thank you!" Gwen put the light away and then gently slid Emily to the other side of the stage from Helen, facing them away from each other. "And like before, she can sense everything!" she informed the audience.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Gwen whipped her head back to check something she may have heard from back stage. "OK everyone, time for one more as the others back there are getting restless." She turned her attention back to the audience. "Tamara, your turn!"
A moments silence.
"Me?"
"If your name is Tamara and you volunteered before the show, yes! Get up here!" Gwen put some emphasis into the summoning.
"Oh? OH! COMING!" There was some laughter from the audience as the newly summoned woman ran up. The laughter turned to another round of sensual appreciation as the called-forth Tamara was dressed in a short skirt, long stockings, and a too-tight white shirt with a crucifix around her neck. "Sorry about that," she said before standing up straight and straightening her clothes out. "I was just... you know..." She blushed a little.
"Girl, you wouldn't be the first or last to have a little fun out there," Gwen waggled her eyebrows to show that she knew exactly what she was saying. "Am I right?"
"Yeah, you're right!" Tamara agreed with enthusiasm. "Thanks Mark!" she called out to the audience. "Call me! I wrote my number on your hand!"
"GO MARK!" Many people shouted similar words to the man in the audience.
"That's enough!" Gwen clapped her hands and raised her voice. "Tamara, please pick a card!"
Tamara plucked a card and checked it out. "CHOCOLATE!?!?" She looked at it in shock, allowing Gwen to take it back and confirm this for herself.
"It is!" She held the card up for all to see. "So, Tamara, why don't you get comfortable...?"
"I have a request!" Tamara raised her hand up like she was in class.
"Go ahead," Gwen removed another large sphere from the card, this time it was chocolate brown.
"Can you break me up into pieces and people can snack on me?"
Gwen paused, looked at the chocolate in her hand, and then back to the audience. "Sure, why not?" she shrugged. "It's not like we've done or will do worse things. You gonna strip though?"
"No!" Tamara crossed her arms in front of her. "Rejected!"
"You know you're going to turn into a chocolate statue. It won't matter."
"It'll matter to me!" Tamara pointed out. "I like this!"
"Well, OK then, it's your loss!" Gwen said as she held the chocolate above Tamara's head, and just let it all drop!
"Eeep!" Tamara winced as the weight landed on her, and the liquid chocolate splashed over her! It drizzled down her face and sides and as it did - much like the previous two women - she was changed into the material chosen. Her hair became stringy filigree while her head quickly turned dark brown as the liquid flowed over her skin and under her clothes. Gwen produced scissors from her apron and quickly cut off her clothes to avoid getting them even more dirty, removing the shirt to show a lack of a bra, as well as her skirt, which still displayed her pre-show entertainment for the masses.
Her shocked expression was solidified for all to see as Gwen helped lather the thick fluid all over Tamara, pulling it down over her arms, her chest, stomach, groin and legs until she finished with her feet.
Gwen stepped back and gave Tamara a quick rap with her knuckles to show that she was a little hollow for her audience. "Such a shame!" She called out. "If only she had cooperated!" she added with a giggle. "Anyway, lovely Tamara here did ask, so after consideration and thought," she reached into her apron and pulled out a hammer, which she then tapped against the small cross around her helper's neck. It shattered into little pieces, which Gwen caught in her hand and then gave a quick taste of. "Rock candy!" she announced.
"Thank you all for watching this act," she took a bow facing the directions between the three new statues. "Helen and Emily will be on display for all to see and touch until the after-show, while Tamara here," she caressed the edible woman gently, "will also be feeling everything," she tossed the hammer into the air and caught it. "So, if anything happens to her... well... she did ask for it!" she reminded people as she waved the hammer in the air. "The next act will begin shortly!"
